Alright, the list of participants is up, but NOT in the order yet. I’m so sorry I had to cut so many of you! Please don’t feel bad! Maybe next time!

Yappychappy and Veronica — could you post something on this thread so it is easier for others to find links to your profiles?

Before I do the shipping order, I wanted to ask if anyone wanted a full unopened pound (30 servings) of Red Leaf Caramel Matchaccino that I ordered too much of on purpose just to get the free shipping (I knew I was going to put some in teaboxes!) I know many of you already ordered some, so I don’t want a full pound of matcha having to be expensively mailed until someone takes it out of the box. So that will determine the mailing order… post here if you’re in the participant list in the main thread and you’d take the matcha out.

I guess it depends on the bag.. but some of the ziplock freezer bags do have a lot of scent leaking! But there are other bags like the ones in the link that would work.. I just don’t know about them! :D

Shipping order is up! Please follow a couple people above and below you on the list!

Let me know if there are any problems with the list, like if you traded a lot with someone after you and you don’t think you have many other teas to add to the box that you didn’t already send them… that sort of thing.

A quick thought, would putting me between the Wisconsin and Michigan people (or just people in the Midwest) be cheaper and possible quicker shipping than between two people on the east coast? If not, no worries :)

I just switched the order of Moraiwe and Short Sorceress since they mentioned in a tasting note that Moraiwe is always after Short Sorceress in tea boxes. This is the kind of thing I meant when I asked if there were any problems in the shipping order. :D

Stephanie & BrewTEAlly Sweet – Please don’t add a whole pound of tea just because you take out the whole pound of matcha! The plan was to downsize this box and I don’t think I did that. The box was also replaced (unfortunately not really a smaller box – I guess by a couple inches anyway!)

Hahaha, I’m actually relieved I don’t have to find a whole pound of other teas to cram in the box. I DO plan to include LOTS of excellent stuff for everyone to try though! Thanks for the matcha in advance! I am planning to throw in a small and somewhat heavy tin of something but I’m 100% sure BrewTEAlly Sweet will be taking it out before it moves on again… ;)

Yeah, definitely don’t add a pound of tea in exchange for the matcha! haha. (mainly because the bag of matcha was only $4 something so that would be VERY unfair to you both to add a whole pound of tea for that, which is why I mentioned it.)

I just transferred everything I wanted to try into my own bags so I could send the box along as quickly as possible. It was so much fun to look through everything! Thanks for including me! I’ll have a tracking number for Tea Sipper and BrewTEAlly Sweet before the end of the day! :)

Boy, I am really, really late to this party! :) Sorry for disappearing from Steepster for so long. Life has been hectic for the past month or so. Anyway, I’m looking forward to round two of this tea box!

So I’m sending this on its way tomorrow (hopefully) as I am packing it up right now. There were a lot of older teas in here that you can tell have definitely traveled quite a bit. In the end I only tried a few.
